Details marketing strategies for beating the odds using anecdotal accounts of the failures and successes of such products as Life Savers, Pepsi, and Jell-O
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Anyone interested in marketing new or old products will gain insight from some, if not all, of Gershman's case-study examples of marketing failures-turned-successes. Almost 50 famous products, including Jello, Post-it Notes, and Timex watches, were abject failures when first introduced, but after "remarketing" they all went on to become very big. It is estimated that 93 out of 100 new food products fail. Does the ingenuity, enthusiasm, and determination of their creators make the difference? Each of the 12 chapters highlights a valuable marketing lesson, such as "Don't Quit," "Don't Price It Wrong," and "Don't Skimp on Promotion." Don't miss these fascinating believe-it-or-not business anecdotes. For public library business collections.
